This is very bad news for the Governor.

[Mr. Illini]

Dillard was the electable one. He would of carried Dupage. Now they are going with a businessman, instead of an elected official.

Because well to do suburbia hates them some businessmen very much. Any Republican should carry DuPage against Quinn. If Brady could carry it in 2010, then any non-Brady Republican should.

That said, I agree, Dillard was better. The game is getting to 64% in DuPage and to 59% in Lake as well as doing reasonably well in the suburbs within Cook.

Yeah to expand on  that I was wondering where in Cook County the population has grown the most in 2011-2012/2013. If its Southern Chicago the GOP is not in that bad of shape. Lipinski's district is only D+5 in Southern Chicago. Than again if its Northern Chicago where the population has grown most the GOP is in deep trouble. I think Northern Chicago is where the city is most liberal. Lipinksi's district as well as Mike Quigley's they are not as Dem as you would expect for Congressional Districts based in a city. Danny Davis's, Robin Kelly's, and Bobby Rush's districts are the most Dem in Chicago.

I would argue that the northern half of the city is more liberal whereas the southern half of the city is more Democrat.
